Here’s what we’ve done in 9 months

About 9 months ago, we launched this ambitious idea to gather our friends, neighbors, and animal lovers in New England and around the country to advocate for a brand new national marine sanctuary to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale.

In that time, we’ve:

  • Gathered almost 5,000 public comments in support of the sanctuary
  • Sat down with the Director of NOAA’s Marine Protected Areas to present our ideas and suggestions
  • Paid the wages of four brilliant interns to learn, teach, and spread the word about right whales around the greater Boston area
  • Organized and informed activists, environmentalists, and stakeholders to begin working on solutions that fit the needs and wants of us all

Before the end of the quarter tonight at midnight, I hope you will make a small commitment, if you can, by chipping in AMT to keep making headway toward getting right whales the protection they deserve.

Steady on,

Rob

Save the Right Whales

The North Atlantic right whale is a critically endangered whale. In the 1970s, with the first whale watches, there were estimated to be 350 right whales, and the population was growing. Then, in 2017, right whales took a turn for the worse. By 2020, the population had fallen to 338 right whales, with only 50-70 breeding females. We must now do more to protect and restore right whales.
